Digital Update December 10, 2021

Worship with us Sunday! 9am Sunday School • 10:15am Worship We live in very dark times, but it was also a very dark time when Jesus came that first Christmas over 2,000 years ago. The Light of the world was born and laid in a manger in a Bethlehem cave. Jesus, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, came to this humble place to pierce the darkness and to provide light and truth to humankind.  We simply need to BELIEVE to SEE! Join us this Sunday at MGBC at 10:15 AM as we continue our Believe series from the Gospel of John as we look at John chapter 9 and the healing of the man born blind. This man made this amazing proclamation: “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” Do you see? Do you recognize Jesus? Believing is seeing!
